66′ CODY WALKER WITH A GIFT!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Souths push towards the line.<\/p>\n

Cody Walker takes the ball and looks to grubber it through.<\/p>\n

There are Newcastle players there who manage to block that grubber, the ball spinning around at Walker’s feet.<\/p>\n

So he picks it up, spins around, and scoots over untouched.<\/p>\n

This game isn’t even close to being over yet.<\/p>\n

The kick is good, it’s 32-36!<\/p>\n

65′ Newcastle drop the ball!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Newcastle are trying to move the ball all the time here – moving the ball to the right side.<\/p>\n

Dylan Brown took the ball to the line and flicked the ball out the back, but Dane Gagai can’t hold onto it.<\/p>\n

If he had, he would have run 60 metres to score.<\/p>\n

As he didn’t, Newcastle has to defend 40 metres out.<\/p>\n

63′ Marzhew crashes over!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Newcastle earn a six again as they run at Souths – Ponga at the heart of everything.<\/p>\n

The Knights move the ball to the left side where Greg Marzhew gets the ball and tears towards the line.<\/p>\n

Souths have players there, two of them on the line and two more covering across – and Marzhew crashes over all of them to score in the corner.<\/p>\n

What a finish. All power.<\/p>\n

Ponga bends the conversion back AND SCORES! Magical!<\/p>\n

Newcastle push the lead out to 10 points, leading 36-26.<\/p>\n

12m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:25am<\/p>\n

61′ Souths error!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Oh, Hubner passes the ball straight into the side of Cam Murray and that costs Souths the chance to go deep into the Knights half.<\/p>\n

Another error on half way – can Newcastle arrest the slide they’re currently on?<\/p>\n

13m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:23am<\/p>\n

58′ TRY SOUTHS!\"Simon\"\"(Getty Images)<\/p>\n

The Rabbitohs move the ball to the left side – Newcastle are never going to have enough bodies there, with Dom Young coming in to make a last-ditch attempt to disrupt Latrell Mitchell.<\/p>\n

But he can’t do so, Mitchell cooly passing the ball on and Alex Johnston scores in the corner.<\/p>\n

So simple.<\/p>\n

Mitchell smashes the kick an absolute mile wide of the posts to keep it 26-30.<\/p>\n

15m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:21am<\/p>\n

57′ Penalty Souths!\"Simon<\/p>\n

A towering bomb was dealt with by Kalyn Ponga.<\/p>\n

But Greg Marzhew shepherded the chasers out the way – only subtly, but enough.<\/p>\n

It’s a poor mistake from Greg Marzhew, who is not happy about it.<\/p>\n

Neither are the crowd.<\/p>\n

18m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:19am<\/p>\n

55′ SOUTHS SCORE ANOTHER!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Perfect from Souths, a lovely kick from Walker – easily gathered by Tallis Duncan who charges onto the grubber and scores.<\/p>\n

The score is 30-22 and the home crowd may well be starting to get a little bit nervous.<\/p>\n

20m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:17am<\/p>\n

54′ Penalty Souths!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Shoulder charge from Jermaine McEwen as Souths moved the ball to the right side.<\/p>\n

Newcastle will have to defend another set inside their own 10.<\/p>\n

21m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:15am<\/p>\n

52′ Dom Young drops the ball inside his own 30!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Oh my, a real case of the dropsies there.<\/p>\n

Dominic Young drops it as the Knights shift the ball to the right side.<\/p>\n

A huge opportunity for the Rabbitohs here.<\/p>\n

22m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:15am<\/p>\n

51′ Walker loses the ball!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Oh he’s not having a great afternoon to be honest.<\/p>\n

Cody Walker drops the ball cold as Souths move the ball within the Knights’ 10.<\/p>\n

23m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:14am<\/p>\n

50′ Big error by Brown\"Simon<\/p>\n

Dylan Brown throws a shocking pass at the back to put Newcastle under immense pressure deep inside their own 20.<\/p>\n

He was looking for Ponga. Perhaps he needs to get some glasses…<\/p>\n

He holds his head in his hands in disappointment.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, he’s on report for an earlier dangerous tackle too.<\/p>\n

26m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:11am<\/p>\n

48′ Knights take two points\"Simon<\/p>\n

The Knights opt to extend the lead out to 14 points – an interesting decision.<\/p>\n

He slots it, but I’d have expected the Knights to look for a try there given the match situation.<\/p>\n

27m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:10am<\/p>\n

47′ BRILLIANT BREAK FROM BEST!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Bradman Best with a step – a fend and then a 60-metre run up field.<\/p>\n

Souths are on the back foot and are struggling to get back.<\/p>\n

But a Ponga pass goes to ground, ending the move!<\/p>\n

But it’s a penalty to Newcastle for offside.<\/p>\n

35m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:02am<\/p>\n

41′ We’re back underway in Newcastle\"Simon<\/p>\n

50m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 4:47am<\/p>\n

40′ Newcastle error, followed by Souths error, followed by Knights error\"Simon<\/p>\n

Dane Gagai loses the ball.<\/p>\n

Then Latrell Mitchell loses the ball attempting an offload.<\/p>\n

Then Bradman Best knocks the ball on in a tackle.<\/p>\n

It’s an error-strewn end to the half.<\/p>\n

52m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 4:44am<\/p>\n

37′ Forward pass!\"Simon<\/p>\n

Not great from Phoenix Crossland – he delivers a forward pass, clearly forward too, to a rampaging forward.<\/p>\n

Souths will breath a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"6m agoSun 3 May 2026 at 5:31am 66′ CODY WALKER WITH A GIFT!
